7 System design
Prediction software
Poorly designed sound systems will quickly fail to deliver in adverse weather conditions so
design your sound system for the best performance possible to avoid climatic conditions
hindering with system performance.
To simplify day-to-day system design, the Void Acoustics Arcline 8 system has been designed
to be compatible with industry-standard EASE Focus 3 prediction software.

7.4 Array design using EASE Focus 3
7.4.1 How many cabinets?
The following factors should be considered:
• Maximum low frequency SPL will increase by approximately 6 dB for every doubling of
cabinet quantities
• Low-mid to high-mid far audience spectral balance will vary with effective* array length for
a given distance so it’s important to maintain low curvature (low single-figure splay angles)
over most of the array by not flying too high and by using front fills – if possible – to cover
the front rows. Front fills also improve imaging
• Air absorption may curtail HF propagation over long distances in dry conditions so, again,
it’s important to maintain headroom by using low-curvature array designs.
* This would only include cabinets whose coverage contributes to the SPL at the listener
distance. For instance, the far audience wouldn’t benefit from the mid & HF output from the
bottom cabinets as the listeners would be out of their coverage.
